Flights to Marka
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Marka is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Aden Adde International Airport (MGQ), 68 km (42 mi) from the centre, whose 10,446-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aden Adde International Airport | MGQ | 68 km (42 mi) | 10,446 ft | 29 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,446 ft, MGQ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 29 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
